My plein air group recently painted in a beautiful yard in Old Colorado City, the oldest part of Colorado Springs. The whole side yard has been turned into a garden. The side porch looks out onto the flowers and vegetables.

That looks so fun! Nice job! Wouldn't it be cool to do a series in old Colorado city of houses and porches.....I'm coming out for that one. How's the heat out there? a lot of rain here as son as you left. 21 days until I am an empty nester.....but whose counting!

About Me

I am an oil painter from Colorado Springs, Colorado. I retired in May 2008 after 28 years of teaching art and now have more time to pursue my passions of painting and traveling. My life has revolved around my love of art, starting with afternoon art classes while in kindergarten, a degree in art education, sharing my passion with hundreds of students yearly, and painting as often as I can. This journal is a combination of my daily paintings, my studio and plein-air work, my classes and workshops, and pieces from my travels past and present.

How To Purchase A Painting

Most of my paintings are for sale either by using a PayPal button or through the Daily PaintWorks Auction. If you are interested in a piece from my early days of blogging, before I used PayPal, please email me and I'll add a button just for you!

My husband and I love to travel. If you do not hear back from me pretty quickly after a purchase, we are on a trip to a location where we don't have immediate access to the internet. It is advised to not always announce on social media that you'll be away from your home for a long period of time, so often I talk about my trips and travels after the fact. Don't fret, I'll get back to you as soon as I can about the purchased painting.
